What a licensed likeness is actually for

Fan work that the creator has actually agreed to, inside limits they wrote down, with a record showing it.

Endorsement imagery with the consent artifact attached, and the creator's existing exclusivity deals enforced rather than remembered.

A consent-checked generation endpoint an agent can transact against without a human in the loop, refused server-side on violation.

Conversational use is off by default and stays off unless the creator licenses it — with a session cap they set, enforced the same way a content rule is.
